Cathay Pacific Flight 780 is in its descent, flying on just one functioning engine when an 'Engine 1 Stall' message appears on the ECAM. Things have gone from bad to worse as they've lost their last functioning engine, which they relied on to reach Hong Kong.

Their situation became an emergency, and the cockpit workload increased significantly. The crew declared a MAYDAY, advising Hong Kong Approach of the double engine stall situation.

The clock is ticking, and the fate of the passengers and crew lies in the hands of the two pilots. What caused these engine problems, and would the pilots be able to handle them well and safely reach their destination?
